INTRODUCTION 


The  City  of  Buffalo  is  situated  in  the  county 
of  Erie,  and  state  of  New-York ;  is  built  upon  the 
land  adjoining  Buffalo  Creek  and  Lake  Erie,  at  the 
junction  of  these  waters,  and  contains  10,119  inha- 
bitants. Most  of  the  City  is  situated  upon  a  bluff 
of  table  land  that  rises  about  fifty  feet  above  the 
level  of  the  Lake.  The  low  lands  that  extend 
from  the  foot  of  this  bluff,  (or  Terrace,  as  it  is  gene- 
rally called,)  to  the  margin  of  the  Creek  and  Lake, 
offering  many  inducements  to  particular  business 
pursuits,  have  been  overspread  with  buildings,  and 
are  becoming  thickly  populated. 

The  village  was  originally  surveyed  and  laid  out, 
by  the  Holland  Land  Company,  to  whom  the  site 
belonged  in  1801;  and  the  settlement  may  be  said 
to  have  begun  in  the  following  year.  Owing  to 
the  usual  causes  which  retard  new  settlements  in 
their  advancement,  the  village  made  but  inconsider- 
able progress  in  its  growth,  until  the  commence- 
ment of  the  war,  in  1812,  when  it  became  a  mili- 
tary resort.  In  December,  1813,  the  place  was  en- 
tered by  the  British  and  Indians,  and  every  building 
but  two  was  burnt.  The  inhabitants  were  many 
of  them  carried  captives  to  Montreal,  while  others 
preserved  their  liberty  by  a  precipitate  flight.  The 
loss  of  property  fell  mostly  upon  individuals,  and 
was  not  only  severe,  but,  in  its  consequences,  truly 


calamitous — leaving  in  many  instances,  families 
destitute  of  house,  clothing  or  provisions,  with 
which  to  combat  the  severity  of  the  season.  From 
this  period  to  the  close  of  the  war,  nothing  like  a 
regular  and  permanent  attempt  was  made  to  rebuild 
the  town,  although  such  of  the  inhabitants  as  could, 
returned  and  made  temporary  locations  upon  the 
sites  of  their  former  habitations.  The  news  of 
peace  was  the  signal  for  renewed  exertions  to  re- 
build the  place,  but  pecuniary  embarassments,  and 
remoteness  from  market,  paralyzed  all  efforts  so 
effectually  as  to  keep  back  the  place,  and  retain  for 
it  the  character  of  a  hamlet  only,  until  the  near 
approach  of  the  Grand  Canal,  in  its  progress  west- 
ward, in  1822,  gave  brighter  prospects  to  those  on 
whom  exertions  devolved.  In  1825,  payment  was 
received  from  the  United  States,  under  certain  re- 
strictions, for  the  buildings  destroyed  in  1813,  but 
all  remuneration  for  other  property  lost,  was  rigidly 
withheld.  Exertions  for  public  advancement  now 
became  more  visibly  efficient;  and  the  attempts 
which  had  been  several  years  making  to  render 
Buffalo  Creek  a  commercial  resort,  were  now  first 
completely  successful.  The  mouth  of  that  stream 
had  been  obstructed  by  a  sand  bar  which  shut  out 
most  vessels  that  navigated  the  lake,  and  forced 
them  to  resort  to  Black  Rock,  where  a  temporary 
shelter  only  could  be  afforded  them,  in  the  open 
river.  To  effect  the  desired  object,  a  loan  had  been 
procured  from  the  state,  of  $12,000,  which,  aided  by 
private  donations,  had  so  far  perfected  a  pier  on  the 
south  side  of  the  mouth  of  the  Creek,  as  to  exclude 
sand,  and  leave  an  open  channel  for  vessels  into  the 
mouth  of  the  harbor.    The  consequences  of  thi& 


were  to  create  a  new  resort  for  vessels,  and  to  arrest 
them  in  their  passage  to  Black  Rock.  This  neces- 
sarily caused  the  building  of  wharves,  store  houses, 
and  such  other  conveniences  as  were  required  by 
the  new  business  pursuits  thus  created. 

GENERAL  VIEW. 

The  village  of  Buffalo  was  incorporated  in  1822 
and  its  municipal  government  was  administered  by 
a  President  and  board  of  trustees.  The  Act  to  in- 
corporate the  City  of  Buffalo,  was  passed  April  20, 
1832.  The  common  council  were  elected  on  the 
26th  day  of  May,  and  held  their  first  meeting  for  the 
choice  of  Mayor,  &c.  on  the  28th.

The  Public  Buildings  consist  of  6  houses  of  pub- 
lic worship,  and  1  now  building;  Court  House, 
jail,  U.  S.  Branch  Bank,  Bank  of  Buffalo,  Buffalo

Capital  $25,000,  which  may  be  increased  to  50,000. 


The  object  of  this  association  was  to  create  mill 
privileges  within  the  city.  This  object  was  accom- 
plished by  taking  the  water  out  of  the  Buffalo  Creek 
about  four  miles  from  the  city,  and  conveying  it  by 
a  canal  to  the  eastern  boundary  about  a  mile  from 
the  city,  where  there  is  sufficient  fall  for  the  pur- 
poses intended.  This  canal  was  begun  in  1828, 
and  is  now  in  successful  operation. 

There  is  now  in  full  operation  on  this  canal,  the 
following  works: — 1  Woolen  Factory;  1  Hat  body 
do;  1  Pail  do;  1  Last  do;  1  Grist  Mill;  1  Brewery. 
The  village  which  has  grown  up  in  its  vicinity  con- 
tains nearly  500  inhabitants. 

Buffalo  and  Black  Rock  Jubilee  Water  Works 
Company,  incorporated  in  1827.  Capital  $20,000. 
The  object  of  the  company  is  to  supply  Buffalo  and 
Black  Rock  with  water.  It  has  already  been  gene- 
rally introduced,  into  both  places,  nearly  16  miles  of 
aqueduct  being  already  laid.

This  Institution  was  commenced  in  the  winter  of 
1830 — 31  by  a  number  of  enterprising  citizens,  and 
has  gradually  risen  in  value  and  importance.  The 


8 

objects  of  the  Institution  are  mutual  improvement 
in  useful  knowledge,  the  advancement  of  popular 
education,  and  the  promotion  of  science  generally. 
There  is  now  belonging  to  the  institution  a  library 
of  several  hundred  volumes,  and  a  quantity  of  chem- 
ical and  philosophical  apparatus.  Weekly  lectures 
are  delivered  before  the  Lyceum  during  the  winter 
season,  which  are  extremely  well  attended. 

Buffalo  Library  Association,  incorporated  in  1816, 
and  now  contains  nearly  700  volumes. 

Trustees. — H.  B.  Potter,  John  G.  Camp,  George 
Stow,  Joseph  Dart,  Jr.,  H.  A.  SaHsbury,  Nathaniel 
Vosburgh,  James  Miller. 

J.  Wilcox,  Librarian. 

Religious  Societies. — There  are,  1  Episcopal,  1 
Presbyterian,  1  Free  Congregational,  1  Baptist,  1 
Bethel,  1  Methodist,  1  Universalist,  1  Unitarian,  and 
1  Roman  Catholic. 

Schools.  — There  are  1 6  district  and  private  schools, 
exclusive  of  the  Buffalo  L.  &  S.  Academy,  embracing 
1  Female  Seminary,  conducted  on  the  most  approved 
plan,  by  competent  teachers,  in  which  the  higher 
branches  of  female  education  are  taught. 

Mails. — There  are  60  mails  per  week,  received  at, 
made  up  and  despatched  from,  the  Post  Office  in  this 
city,  during  the  winter  season,  and  during  the  sum- 
mer, or  season  of  navigation,  there  are  88  per  week. 
The  first  mail  received  here  was  in  March,  1803,  on 
horseback.  It  was  conveyed  from  the  east  once  in 
two  weeks  in  this  manner,  until  1805.  A  weekly 
route  was  thenestablished,andcontinueduntil  1809. 
In  1810,  the  mode  of  conveyance  was  changed,  and 
.a  stage  wagon  was  used.  As  the  country  advanced 


9 


in  improvements,  the  route  was  changed  to  twice  and 
three  times  a  week,  and  subsequently  to  a  daily  route . 

The  following  is  a  list  of  mails  arriving  and  depart- 
ing from  the  Post  Office  in  this  city  in  each  week : 

Eastern  Mail,  two  large  and  one  small,  daily. 

Northern  "      one 

Western    " 

One  large  mail  for  the  West  by  water  to  Portland 
Harbor,  daily. 

Two  small  do.  to  Dunkirk  and  Portland  Harbor, 
daily. 

One  large  do.  for  Michigan,  by  steamboat,  daily. 

There  is  also  a  mail  leaving  three  times  a  week 
to  Batavia,  via  Cayuga  Creek  and  Alexander;  one 
do  three  times  a  week,  to  Warsaw,  via  Aurora;  one 
do.  three  times  a  week,  to  Olean  and  the  north  of 
Pennsylvania,  via  Springville ;  and  one  twice  a  week 
to  Fredonia,  via  Lodi. 

Newspapers. — There  are  the  Buffalo  Patriot,  Buf- 
falo Journal,  Buffalo  Republican,  and  Buffalo  Bulle- 
tin, all  published  weekly.  The  Patriot  is  the  oldest 
establishment,  having  been  commenced  in  1811,  un- 
der the  name  of  the  Buffalo  Gazette.  The  Journal 
was  commenced  in  1815,  under  the  name  of  the 
Niagara  Journal. 

Public  Works. — The  principal  of  these  is  the  pier, 
built  to  protect  the  entrance  of  the  harbor  from  en- 
croachments of  sand,  and  upon  which  the  United 
States  have  bestowed  the  following  appropriations: 
May  20,  1826,  $15,000;  March  2,  1827,  $6,500; 
May  19,  1828,  $34,206;  April  23,  1830,  $15,488; 
Total  $71,194.  It  is  built  with  great  strength,  with 
stone,  and  is  3^  of  a  mile  in  length.  A  Light-House 
is  to  be  built  on  the  outer  extremity  of  the  pier  the 


10 


base  of  which  will  connect  with  and  strengthen  that 
work.  To  this  must  be  added  the  termination  of  the 
Erie  canal,  and  its  dependencies. 

The  Erie  Canal  approaches  the  village  across  the 
low  lands  which  form  the  shore  of  the  Niagara  river 
at  its  head,  and  terminates  in  the  Little  Buffalo 
Creek,  a  few  rods  from  the  foot  of  the  Terrace. 
From  the  point  of  intersection  with  the  Little  Buf- 
falo, to  where  that  stream  is  lost  in  Big  Buffalo  Creek, 
extensive  excavations  have  been  made,  which  render 
the  whole  distance  a  continued  basin,  and  the  same 
is  true  of  a  considerable  distance  above  the  point  of 
intersection;  making  in  all  one  of  the  most  exten- 
sive and  convenient  resorts  for  boats  to  be  found 
upon  the  Canal.  From  this  basin,  boats  pass  when 
necessary  into  the  harbor,  and  assume  their  sta- 
tions either  by  the  side  of  lake  vessels,  or  at  the 
wharves  of  store-houses,  as  convenience  of  dis- 
charging and  receiving  cargoes  may  require. 

Buffalo  Harbor,  with  which  the  Canal  thus  com- 
municates, is  formed  by  Buffalo  Creek,  which  is  of 
sufficient  depth  to  receive  the  lake  vessels  for  a  dis- 
tance of  about  one  mile  from  its  mouth,  and  is  con- 
sidered by  mariners  as  affording  the  most  secure 
and  convenient  harbor  to  be  found  on  the  Ameri- 
can shore  of  the  lake.  The  present  Light-House  is 
situated  on  the  shore  of  the  lake,  upon  a  tongue  of 
landformedbytheshoreofthelakeandBuffaloCreek. 

STATISTICS. 

The  number  of  vessels  of  various  descriptions 
employed  in  the  commerce  of  Lake  Erie  and  the 
upper  Lakes  is  about  100,  and  the  amount  of  ton- 
nage about  8000.  The  increase  of  lake  commerce  at 
Buffalo  may  be  seen  by  the  following  table,  show-

Of  the  amount  of  property  shipped  from  this 
port,  no  certain  information  can  be  obtained;  suf-

intended  by  him  to  be  chosen;  but  no  ballot  shall

§  11.  Every  person  voting  at  such  election,  shall 
be  an  actual  resident  of  the  ward  in  which  he  so

to  vote  thereat,  before  he  is  permitted  to  vote,  take 
the  following  oath :  "You  do  swear  (or  affirm)  that 
you  are  a  citizen  of  the  United  States,  of  the  age 
of  twenty-one  years;  that  you  have  been  an  inha- 
bitant of  this  state  for  one  year  next  preceding  this 
election,  and  for  the  last  six  months  a  resident  of 
this  county,  that  you  are  now  a  resident  of  this 
ward,  and  that  you  have  not  voted  at  this  election." 
If  the  person  be  a  colored  man,  he  shall,  (if  re- 


17 

quired  as  aforesaid,)  before  he  is  permitted  to  vote, 
take  the  following  oath:  "You  do  swear  (or  affirm) 
that  you  are  of  the  age  of  twenty-one  years,  that 
for  three  years  you  have  been  a  citizen  of  this 
state;  that  you  have  been  an  inhabitant  of  this 
state  for  one  year  next  preceding  this  election,  and 
during  that  time  have  been  and  now  are  seized  and 
possessed  of  a  freehold  estate  of  the  value  of  two 
hundred  and  fifty  dollars,  over  and  above  all  debts 
and  incumbrances  charged  thereon,  and  have  been 
actually  rated  and  paid  a  tax  thereon;  that  you 
have  been  for  the  last  six  months  a  resident  of  this 
county;  that  you  now  are  a  resident  of  this  ward, 
and  that  you  have  not  voted  at  this  election." 

§  12.  After  the  poll  of  any  such  election  is 
closed,  the  inspectors  holding  the  same  in  each  of 
said  wards,  shall  on  the  same  or  next  day,  canvass 
the  votes  given  at  such  election.  The  canvass 
shall  be  public,  and  shall  commence  by  a  compari- 
son of  the  poll  lists,  and  a  correction  of  any  mis- 
takes that  may  be  found  therein,  until  they  shall 
be  found  or  made  to  agree.  The  ballots  shall  be 
counted  unopened,  except  so  far  as  to  ascertain  that 
each  ballot  is  single,  and  if  two  or  more  ballots 
shall  be  found  so  folded  as  to  present  the  appear- 
ance of  a  single  ballot,  they  shall  be  destroyed. 

§  13.  If  the  ballots  shall  be  found  to  exceed  in 
number  the  whole  number  of  votes  on  the  poll  lists, 
they  shall  be  replaced  in  the  box,  and  one  of  the 
inspectors  shall  publicly  draw  out  and  destroy  so 
many  ballots  unopened  as  shall  be  equal  to  such 
excess.  The  ballots  and  poll  lists  being  found  or 
made  to  agree,  the  inspectors  holding  such  election 
shall  then  proceed  to  canvass  and  estimate  the 
votes.  2*

of  the  result  shall  be  drawn  up  in  writing  by  the

after  the  canvass  is  completed.  The  inspectors  of

watch,  and  making  and  repairing  roads,  highways 
and  bridges  in  said  city,  and  to  defray  the  contin- 
gent and  other  expenses  of  said  city.  The  taxes 
assessed  and  levied  in  pursuance  of  this  section, 
shall,  except  as  otherwise  herein  directed,  be  as- 
sessed and  rated  by  the  said  council,  upon  or 
among  the  owners  of  the  estates  real  and  personal 
in  said  city,  (according  to  the  then  last  assessment 
roll  made  by  the  assessors  of  said  city,)  in  the  same 
manner  and  proportion,  as  nearly  as  may  be,  as 
taxes  in  and  for  the  county  of  Erie  are  rated  and 
assessed;  and  in  the  assessment  roll  made  in  pur- 
suance of  this  section  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the

exempt  by  law  from  assessments  to  work  on  high- 
ways in  towns  shall  be  assessed  or  taxed  for  making 
and  repairing  roads,  highways  and  bridges.  In  the 
assessment  roll  made  under  this  section,  all  persons 
who  would  be  liable  by  law  to  be  assessed  to  work 
on  highways,  if  they  reside  in  any  of  the  towns  in

by  the  collector  or  collectors  of  said  city,  in  the 
same  manner  and  with  the  same  power  and  authori- 
ty, as  taxes  in  and  for  the  county  of  Erie  are  col- 
lected by  the  collectors  of  the  several  towns,  by 
virtue  of  a  warrant  or  warrants  under  the  corporate 
seal,  signed  by  the  mayor,  or  by  suit  in  the  corpo- 
rate name,  with  interest  and  costs.  The  assess- 
ment roll  filed  with  the  clerk  shall  in  all  cases  be 
evidence  on  the  part  of  the  corporation;  and  all 
taxes  and  assessments  imposed  or  assessed  on  or  in 
respect  of  any  real  estate  as  aforesaid,  shall  be  a 
lien,  on  filing  the  roll  with  the  clerk  of  the  city,  on 
such  real  estate;  and  in  case  such  taxes  and  assess- 
ments are  not  paid,  and  no  personal  property  can  be 
found  by  the  collector  or  collectors,  out  of  which  to 
satisfy  and  collect  the  same  by  distress  and  sale, 
the  common  council  may  cause  such  real  estate  to 
be  sold  for  the  payment  and  collection  of  such  taxes 
and  assessments  as  aforesaid,  together  with  the  ex- 
penses of  the  sale,  in  the  manner  and  with  the 
effect,  and  subject  to  the  provisions  specified  in  the 
forty-third  section  of  this  act,  relative  to  the  sales 
of  real  estate  for  the  non-payment  of  assessments 
in  that  section  mentioned;  but  no  such  real  estate 
shall  be  sold  as  aforesaid,  except  within  one  year 
from  the  time  of  the  filing  of  the  assessment  roll  as 
aforesaid.  All  taxes  and  sums  of  money,  raised 
and  collected  in  pursuance  or  by  virtue  of  this  sec- 
tion, shall  be  paid  to  the  treasurer  of  the  city. 
Any  person  who  may  be  assessed  to  raise  the 
amount  for  making  roads,  highways  and  bridges, 
may  at  his  option  discharge  the  same  in  labor,  at 
the  rate  of  one  day  for  each  fifty  cents  he  may  be 


32 


assessed  for  such  purposes,  provided  such  person 
shall  within  ten  days  after  he  shall  have  been  first 
called  upon  by  the  collector  to  pay  such  tax,  deliver 
to  the  collector  a  receipt  from  the  street  commis- 
missioner,  specifying  that  he  has  labored  upon  the 
highways  to  the  amount  of  such  assessment,  at  the 
rate  above  specified.  The  street  commissioner, 
whenever  requested  by  any  person  assessed,  for 
making  highways,  roads  and  bridges,  shall  desig- 
nate a  time  when,  and  not  exceeding  three  days

mence labor  on  the  highways,  under  the  direction 
of  such  commissioner,  in  discharge  of  such  assess- 
ment; and  upon  the  performance  of  such  labor 
according  to  such  designation,  at  the  rate  of  eight 
hours  for  each  day,  the  commissioner  shall  give 
such  person  a  receipt  therefor. 

§  39.  The  common  council  shall  be  commission- 
ers of  highways  in  and  for  said  city,  and  shall  (sub- 
ject to  the  provisions  of  this  act)  possess  the  powers 
and  perform  the  duties,  and  be  subject  to  the  liabil- 
ities of  commissioners  of  highways  in  towns.

alter  and  clean  the  streets,  alleys,  highways,  brid- 
ges, side  and  cross  walks,  drains,  sewers,  wharves, 
piers,  docks  and  slips  in  said  city,  and  to  prevent

building  exceeding  the  value  of  one  thousand  dol- 
lars shall  be  removed  in  whole  or  in  part,  without 
the  consent  of  the  owner.  They  shall  cause  all 
streets,  alleys,  lanes  or  highways,  laid  out  by  them, 
to  be  surveyed,  described  and  recorded,  in  a  book  to 
be  kept  by  the  clerk,  and  the  same  when  opened 
and  made,  shall  be  public  highways.  Whenever 
any  street,  alley,  lane,  highway,  wharf  or  slip  is 
laid  out,  altered  or  widened  by  virtue  of  this  sec- 
tion, the  common  council  shall  give  notice  of  their 
intention  to  take  and  appropriate  the  land  necessa- 
ry for  the  same,  to  the  owner  thereof,  his  agent  or 
legal  representatives,  if  known  or  residing  in  this 
state,  or  if  not  known,  and  residing  out  of  the  state,

days  from  the  date  of  such  precept,  to  ascertain  and 
assess  the  damages  and  recompense  due  the  owner 
or  owners  of  such  land,  and  at  the  same  time  to  de- 
termine what  persons  will  be  benefitted  by  such  im- 
provement, and  to  assess  the  expenses  thereof,  on 
the  real  estate  of  the  persons  benefitted,  in  propor- 
tion, as  nearly  as  may  be,  to  the  benefit  resulting  to

his  agent  or  representatives,  by  written  notice, 
served  personally,  or  left  at  his  or  their  usual  place 
of  abode,  to  appear  before  him  or  them,  on  the  day 
specified  in  said  precept.  The  jury  shall  be  sworn 
by  any  justice  of  the  peace  in  said  city,  faithfully 
and  impartially  to  execute  their  duty,  in  making 
such  assessments,  according  to  the  best  of  their 
ability.  The  jury  shall  view  the  premises,  and  in 
their  discretion,  receive  any  legal  evidence,  and 
may,  if  necessary,  adjourn  from  day  to  day.  Such 
jury  shall  determine  and  award  to  the  owner  or 
owners  of  such  land,  such  damages  as  they  shall 
judge  such  owner  or  owners  to  sustain  in  conse- 
quence of  such  street,  lane,  alley,  highway,  wharf 
or  slip,  after  taking  into  consideration  and  making 
due  allowance  for  any  benefit  which  said  owner  or 
owners  may  derive  from  such  improvement.  The 
said  jury  shall  also  at  the  same  time,  assess  and  ap- 
portion the  expenses  of  such  improvement  on  the 
real  estate  benefitted  thereby,  as  nearly  as  may  be, 
in  proportion  to  the  benefits  resulting  therefrom; 
and  shall  describe  the  real  estate  on  which  any 
assessment  is  made  under  this  section,  in  the  same 
manner  as  is  provided  in  the  thirty-eighth  section 
of  this  act,  in  relation  to  the  assessment  of  taxes. 
If  there  be  any  building  on  any  land  taken  for  such 
improvement  the  owner  thereof  shall  have  ten  days, 
or  such  time  as  the  common  council  may  allow, 
after  the  final  assessment  of  the  jury  is  returned  to, 
and  confirmed  by  the  common  council,  to  remove 
the  same;  and  in  case  such  owner  removes  such 
building,  the  value  thereof  to  the  owner  to  remove, 
shall  be  deducted  from  the  amount  of  damages 
awarded  to  the  owner  thereof,  and  such  value  shall 


35 


be  at  the  time  of  the  assessment,  determined  by 
the  jury.  The  determination  and  assessment  of 
the  jury  shall  be  returned  in  writing,  signed  by  the 
jury,  to  the  common  council.  The  common  coun- 
cil, after  such  determination  and  assessment  of  the 
jury  is  returned  to  them,  as  aforesaid,  shall  give 
two  weeks  notice,  in  the  corporation  newspaper 
printed  in  said  city,  that  such  determination  and 
assessment  of  the  jury  will,  on  a  day  to  be  specified 
in  said  notice,  be  confirmed  by  the  common  council, 
unless  objections  by  some  person  interested  are 
made  thereto.  All  objections  to  any  such  determi- 
nation and  assessment  as  aforesaid,  shall  be  briefly 
stated  in  writing,  and  filed  with  the  clerk.  If  no 
objections  are  made  as  aforesaid,  the  said  determi- 
nation and  assessment  of  the  jury  shall  be  confirmed 
by  the  common  council.  If  objections  are  made  as 
aforesaid,  any  person  interested  may  be  heard  be- 
fore the  common  council,  touching  the  said  deter- 
mination and  assessment  of  the  jury,  on  the  day 
specified  in  the  aforesaid  notice,  or  on  such  other 
day  or  days  as  the  common  council  shall  for  that 
purpose  appoint;  and  the  said  common  council,  on 
consideration  of  the  objections  made,  shall  have 
power  in  their  discretion,  to  confirm  such  determina- 
tion and  assessment  of  the  jury,  or  [  to  annul*]  the 
same,  and  direct  a  new  jury  to  be  summoned  for  the 
purposes,  and  in  the  manner  herein  provided;  and 
the  determination  and  assessment  of  such  second 
jury,  shall  when  completed,  be  returned  to  and  con-

said  city,  to  be  graded,  levelled,  paved,  repaved,  or 
gravelled,  and  to  cause  cross  and  side  walks,  drains, 
sewers,  and  aqueducts  to  be  constructed  and  made 
in  said  city;  and  to  cause  any  side  walks  or  drains, 
sewers  and  aqueducts,  to  be  re-laid,  amended  and 
repaired,  and  to  cause  the  expenses  of  all  improve- 
ments except  side  walks  made  or  directed  under 
this  section  to  be  assessed  upon  all  the  real  estate 
in  said  city,  in  proportion  to  the  benefits  resulting 
thereto,  as  nearly  as  may  be.  The  common  coun- 
cil shall  determine  the  amount  to  be  assessed  for 
all  improvements  made  or  directed  under  this  sec- 
tion, except  side  walks,  and  shall  appoint  five  repu- 
table freeholders  of  said  city,  to  make  such  assess- 
ment. The  assessors  shall  be  sworn  before  a  jus- 
tice of  the  peace  in  said  city,  faithfully  and  impar- 
tially to  execute  their  duty  as  such  assessors,  ac- 
cording to  the  best  of  their  ability.  They  shall 
assess  the  amount  directed  by  the  common  council 
to  be  assessed  for  any  such  improvement,  on  the 
real  estate  deemed  by  them  to  be  benefitted  there- 
by, in  proportion  to  the  benefit  resulting  thereto,  as 
nearly  as  may  be :  and  the  said  assessors  shall  brief- 
ly describe  in  the  assessment  roll  to  be  made  by 
them,  the  real  estate,  on  or  in  respect  of  which  any 
assessment  is  made  under  this  section.  When  the 
assessment  is  completed  they  shall  give  the  like 


37 


notice,  and  have  the  same  power  to  make  correc- 
tions as  in  the  case  of  assessment  of  taxes.  They 
shall  deliver  a  corrected  copy  of  the  assessment  roll 
to  the  clerk  of  the  city,  to  be  filed.  Any  person  in- 
terested may  appeal  to  the  common  council  for  the 
correction  of  the  assessment.  Such  appeal  shall  be 
in  writing,  and  shall  be  delivered  to  the  clerk  or 
presiding  officer  of  the  common  council  within 
twenty  days  after  the  corrected  copy  of  the  assess- 
ment roll  is  filed  with  the  clerk.  In  case  of  appeal 
the  common  council  shall  appoint  a  time  within 
ten  days  thereafter,  for  the  hearing  of  those  who 
are  interested,  and  shall  cause  a  notice  to  be  posted 
for  five  days,  in  some  convenient  public  place,  des- 
gnating  the  time  and  place  and  object  of  hearing; 
and  they  may  adjourn  said  hearing  from  time  to 
time  as  may  be  necessary :  and  the  common  council 
shall,  in  case  of  appeal  as  aforesaid,  have  power,  in 
their  discretion,  to  confirm  such  assessment,  or  to 
annul  the  same  and  direct  a  new  assessment,  which 
shall  be  final  and  conclusive  on  all  parties  inter- 
ested, to  be  made  in  the  manner  herein  before  di- 
rected, by  five  other  assessors,  to  be  appointed  as 
aforesaid  by  the  said  common  council.  If  the  first 
assessment  in  any  case  under  this  or  the  preceding 
section  proves  insufficient,  the  common  council 
may  cause  another  to  be  made,  in  the  same  man- 
ner, or  if  too  large  an  amount  shall  at  any  time  be 
raised,  the  excess  shall  be  refunded  ratably  to  those 
by  whom  it  was  paid. 

§  43.  All  assessments  for  improvements  author- 
ized by  the  forty -first  and  forty-second  sections  of 
this  act,  shall  be  made  upon  the  real  estate,  and  be 
collected  by  or  paid  to  the  collector  or  collectors  of 


said  city,  except  as  herein  otherwise  directed.  A 
corrected  copy  of  the  assessment  roll  shall  in  all 
cases,  authorized  by  the  said  forty-first  and  forty- 
second  sections,  be  filed  in  the  office  of  the  clerk  of 
the  city;  and  the  assessments  shall  be  a  lien  on  the 
premises  assessed,  for  one  year  only,  after  the  final 
corrected  copy  of  the  assessment  roll  is  filed  as 
aforesaid.  In  case  of  non-payment,  the  premises 
may  be  sold  at  any  time  within  the  year  from  the 
time  of  the  filing  of  the  said  assessment  roll.  Before 
any  such  sale,  an  order  shall  be  made  by  the  com- 
mon council,  which  shall  be  entered  at  large  in 
the  records  of  the  city,  kept  by  the  clerk,  directing 
the  attorney  of  the  city  to  sell,  and  particularly 
describing  the  premises  to  be  sold,  and  the  assess- 
ment for  which  the  sale  is  to  be  made:  a  copy  of 
which  order  shall  be  delivered  to  the  said  attorney. 
The  said  attorney  shall  then  advertise  the  premises 
to  be  sold,  in  the  manner,  and  for  the  time  required 
in  case  of  sales  of  real  estate  on  execution,  and  the 
sale  shall  be  conducted  in  the  same  manner.  The 
proceedings  may  be  stopped  at  any  time  before  sale, 
by  any  person,  by  paying  to  the  said  attorney  the 
amount  of  the  assessment,  interest  and  expenses  of 
advertising.  All  sales  in  such  cases  shall  be  made 
for  the  shortest  period  for  which  any  person  will 
take  the  premises  and  pay  the  assessment,  interest 
and  expenses.  Certificates  of  the  sale  shall  be 
made  and  subscribed  by  the  said  attorney,  one  of 
which  shall  be  filed  by  him  within  ten  days  after 
the  day  of  sale,  in  the  office  of  the  clerk  of  the  city 
and  in  the  office  of  the  clerk  of  Erie  county,  and 
shall  contain  a  description  of  the  property,  and  the 
term  for  which  it  was  sold,  and  state  the  amount 


89 


of  the  assessment,  interest  and  expenses  for  which 
the  sale  was  made,  and  the  time  at  which  the  right 
to  redeem  will  expire.  If  the  proceedings  are 
stopped  before  a  sale  is  made,  the  attorney  may  in- 
clude one  dollar,  and  no  more,  in  the  expenses  for 
his  fees.  If  the  premises  are  sold,  the  attorney 
may  include  two  dollars  in  the  amount  of  expenses 
for  his  fees,  and  no  more.  The  right  of  redemption, 
in  all  cases,  of  such  sales  in  the  same  manner  and 
to  the  same  extent,  shall  exist  to  the  owner  and  his 
creditors,  as  is  allowed  by  law  in  the  case  of  sales 
of  real  estate  by  virtue  of  an  execution.  The  mo- 
ney, in  case  of  redemption,  may  be  paid  to  the  pur- 
chaser, or,  for  him,  to  the  clerk  of  the  city.  In 
case  of  no  redemption,  or  in  case  of  redemption  by 
the  creditor  or  creditors,  the  common  council  shall 
make  to  the  purchaser  or  his  legal  representatives, 
or  the  person  entitled  thereto,  a  declaration  in  wri- 
ting under  the  corporate  seal,  signed  by  the  mayor 
and  attested  by  the  clerk,  containing  a  description 
of  the  premises,  the  fact  of  assessment,  advertise- 
ment and  sale,  and  the  period  for  which  the  premises 
were  sold;  which  declaration  shall  be  evidence  of 
a  right  to  the  use  and  occupancy  of  the  premises 
for  the  said  period,  to  be  computed  from  the  expira- 
tion of  fifteen  months  after  the  day  of  sale.  All 
buildings  put  upon  the  premises  in  the  exercise  of 
such  right  of  occupancy,  during  the  period,  may  be 
removed,  at  or  before  the  expiration  thereof. 

44.  Any  person  interested  may  appeal  from  any 
order  of  the  common  council,  for  laying  out,  open- 
ing, making,  altering  or  widening  any  street,  alley, 
lane,  highway,  wharf  or  slip,  to  the  court  of  com- 
mon pleas  of  the  county  of  Erie,  by  notice  in  wri- 


42 


an  application  is  pending  before  said  council,  for  the 
laying  out,  making,  widening,  altering,  contracting, 
discontinuing,  paving  or  flagging  such  street,  alley, 
road,  highway,  wharf  or  slip,  sewer  or  aqueduct, 
which  notice  shall  briefly  describe  the  nature  and 
object  of  the  application,  and  specify  at  what  time 
it  will  be  finally  acted  upon  by  the  common  council.

ing, fencing,  amending,  cleansing  and  protecting

in  said  city;  and  to  improve  the  same  by  the  con- 
struction of  walks,  and  the  rearing  and  protecting 
of  ornamental  trees  therein ;  and  to  cause  such  part 
of  the  expenses  thereof  as  they  shall  deem  just,  to 
be  assessed  and  collected  in  the  manner  prescribed 
in  the  forty-second  and  forty-third  sections  of  this 
act,  for  assessing  and  collecting  expenses  of  im- 
provements, mentioned  in  those  sections;  and  to 
cause  the  sale  of  any  real  estate,  on  which  such 
expenses  are  assessed,  to  be  sold  as  provided  in  said 
forty-second  and  forty-third  sections.  But  nothing 
herein  shall  empower  the  said  common  council  to 
divert  or  obstruct  the  interest  of  any  individual, 
in  or  to  any  such  square  or  area. 

§  50.  The  common  council  shall  have  power  to

ful for  the  said  board,  by  an  order  in  writing,  signed

ter, or  consignee  of  said  boat  or  vessel.  And  if 
the  master,  owner,  or  consignee  to  whom  such  or- 
der shall  be  delivered,  shall  neglect  or  refuse  to 
comply  therewith,  the  said  president  may  enforce 
such  removal,  and  said  master,  owner,  or  consignee
